Chinese Entertainment: Top-Tier Boyfriends of Young Actresses

Su Yu followed Huo Xiaolan's arrangements and attended two business events in the past two days, both near Beijing.

Before he set off, Huo Xiaolan specifically instructed him that this offline event would be his first public appearance since he became famous, so he must maintain a good state, and never be late, never have a sour face, and never lose focus in front of the brand's camera.

Su Yu found it amusing; didn't Huo Xiaolan know what kind of person he was?

Wang Churan originally wanted to run with him, but Huo Xiaolan strongly refused, after all, she didn't want any accidents to happen.

Su Yu originally thought he didn't have much popularity and that not many people would come offline.

To his surprise, there were far more fans at the first event that day than he had expected.

The railing in the mall's atrium was crowded with young faces, many of whom held up light boards and banners with his name on them. Some of the banners featured his profile as Jiang Chen in the promotional photos for "A Love So Beautiful," while others showed screenshots of him in a school uniform from his music video.

As soon as he appeared, a burst of screams erupted from the crowd. Some people excitedly stood on tiptoe to look forward, some frantically recorded videos with their phones, and others jumped up and down while shouting his name.

Xiao Zhou later told him that some loyal fans flew in from other places just to catch a glimpse of him after learning that he was going to participate in such an offline event.

After all, Su Yu has been in the industry for so long and has never participated in any offline activities. This is the first time he has stood in front of his fans in real life, so the fans naturally gave him a lot of face.

He was overwhelmed by the fans' support.

After the event ended, he came out from backstage and saw a group of fans waiting in the square outside the mall, refusing to leave under the scorching sun.

By the end of June, Beijing was unbearably hot; the asphalt on the roads gleamed in the sun and emitted bursts of heat.

A girl standing in the front row had her face flushed red from the sun and was holding up his banner, the edges of which were already soaked with sweat and a little soft.

Su Yu quickly asked Xiao Zhou and other staff members to go to a nearby convenience store and get more than a dozen cases of mineral water. He then stood by the square and handed them out to the fans who were still waiting there.

He handed out water to each person one by one, saying "Thank you for your hard work" and "Go home early, don't get heatstroke."

When a young girl received the water, her eyes immediately welled up with tears. She told Su Yu that she had come all the way from Tianjin by high-speed rail, having gotten up before 5 a.m. to catch the train, just to get to the scene.

After listening, Su Yu paused for a moment, then said to her very seriously, "Don't go through all that trouble next time, it's too tiring. There will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future."

The girl nodded vigorously, tears streaming down her face as she did so.

After distributing the water, Su Yu raised his voice to the group of fans, his tone lacking any celebrity airs, more like a friend giving advice to another friend.

"Thank you for coming to see me. I am very touched and I appreciate your kind gesture."

"It's too hot. Everyone should go home early. Don't stay outside for too long, or you might get heatstroke. Please be careful on the road."

Fans present filmed him and uploaded the video online.

That evening, the video was spontaneously uploaded to Weibo and Douyin by fans.

In the video, Su Yu, wearing the white shirt he wore for the event, stands on the edge of the square, handing out bottled water to fans one by one under the blazing sun, and reminding them to be careful. During this process, he also wipes the sweat from his forehead from time to time.

The top comments section was filled with heartfelt messages from fans.

"Waaaaah, Su Su is so kind and gentle, I'm going to be a fan of his forever!"

"He could have just left, but he stayed to hand out water for us. I'm so touched, I'm crying my eyes out!"

"Which idol hands out water to fans and says 'thank you for your hard work' to each one? If it's my idol, then it's fine."

The comments were all unanimously praising Su Yu.

As for the few sarcastic comments that made him seem like he was "putting on a show," they were quickly overwhelmed by his fans, who then deleted the posts and ran away.

The hashtag #SuYuGivesWaterToFans# was somehow stirred up and climbed all the way to the tail end of Weibo's trending topics, making Su Yu inexplicably popular again.

"I'm so envious of the girls who went to the event; this is the real Su Su!"

"SuSu's looks are absolutely stunning! Her unedited photos are even more amazing than the retouched ones. What kind of divine skin is this!"

"He even bought water for the fans! I'm so jealous! I wish I had gone to the event too!"

Su Yu leaned back on the sofa in his rented room and read through all the comments, finding them both funny and poignant.

He thought these fans were so adorable. It was just a few simple words of concern and a few bottles of ordinary mineral water, but they were so moved that they sent him thousands of comments praising him online.

He has always considered himself an ordinary person. After entering the entertainment industry, he only acted in a few movies and wrote a song, yet he has a large group of people who are willing to take the high-speed rail from other places to see him.

He naturally wouldn't accept all of this with a clear conscience; he always felt that since others were good to him, he should be good to them in return.

So everything he said and every bottle of water he handed out today came from the bottom of his heart. He wasn't trying to create any persona or do anything for publicity.

Because he never felt superior to others. Acting or singing were just his jobs, no different from preparing buffer solutions in the lab in his previous life.

After browsing the comments section, he opened Weibo and posted a new update specifically to thank his fans.

"Thank you all so much for coming from afar to support me today. I'm so touched by your support. But I still want to remind everyone that it's hot, so please be careful not to get heatstroke. Let's meet again on a cooler day."

Shortly after the Weibo post was published, thousands of comments appeared in the comment section, with the top comments being from longtime fans who typed with incredible speed.

"Susu, take care of yourself too! Don't just focus on work!"

"Waaaaah, SuSu has finally officially recognized our 'Little Raindrop'! I'm so happy!"

"SuSu said 'see you next time'! So we'll see each other again, right? I've already started saving money!"

"Hey idol, please take note: your main job is acting, your side job is singing, and your part-time job is being a 'warm guy.' How are other artists supposed to compete if you take on all three roles?"

"Have you guys noticed that every time Su Su posts on Weibo, she's reminding her fans to be careful and take care of their health? She's just like an old-fashioned cadre, hahaha!"

"Hahaha, upstairs, are you being polite? I, Su Mingming, am only twenty-two years old. This is what you call reliable!"

"As expected of someone from the same company, Mr. Jin Dong has a worthy successor."

Of course, there were also many comments that were not suitable for children, which made Su Yu witness the diversity of human beings once again.

Wang Churan walked over, glanced down at Su Yu's phone, and snorted after seeing a few somewhat explicit confession comments.

"Hmph, these shameless little sluts."

Su Yu pulled her closer to him and corrected her, "How can you say that? These are our benefactors!"
